Slusho! History and Download Changes

The Slusho! History and Downloads pages also have some small changes.

On the Downloads page, in addition to the Hot Air Balloon Duck that shows up on the right site, there is now a Parachuting Duck that appears on the left side.

On the History page, the Jelly Fish is now thinking about a hammer (!?!), and the Crab changes its expression when you click on it.

  1. The duck is now parachuting down and landing in America. After all, he wants Slusho! brought to the US.

  4. Correct me if I am wrong, but did the Sublymonal messages from Sprite not factor some in the earlier Lost ARG?

    I just saw they had a new advertising campaign, and laughed out loud when one of the "clips" they have is a giant tongue trashing a city. You can hear a person say, "It tastes like a Lymon (pronounced, lime-on)!" I immediately thought of the whole "It's a LION!" stuff. Very funny!

  5. The Slusho! website reminds me of those toy dashboards parents give to infants that have lots of lights and noises the infant can make by pressing various buttons and turning various knobs. It basically just seems like something to keep us busy for awhile while sitting in the car bored waiting for the movie to come around in January. "Hey, lil' baby! If you press the crab it makes faces! Yay!!!" Goo goo gaa gaa!

  6. Crap, I meant the duck is heading WEST to the US. Sorry, I'm tired.

    The jellyfish also seems to be headed West whilst swimming to the surface (It's the only creature swimming upwards). Maybe it's going to surface in NY and hammer the snot out of it?

  7. That could very well be the case haha. I'm easily amused enough to spend 6 months trying to make sense of this stuff.

  8. No doubt, there’s enough here to keep us busy for a while.

    Also, the duck isn’t flying in the traditional sense. There seems to be a flock of ducks/geese in the background doing it just fine using their wings. The duck is in the air using man-made contraptions. Maybe it’s a duckling? Maybe I’m looking too deep at irrelevant clues? Yes.

  9. Actually, the hammer's been there for AT LEAST a week. I saw it I think it was Wednesday.

  10. FYI, I have a backup of the flash files from Wednesday the 25th, and The jelly fish was there, but there was definitely NO hammer thoughts.

    I think all these changes were put in on Saturday, the 28th, along with the new stuff - I just haven't posted it until now.

  12. On the Slusho! History Page…

    1) It seems to take place on the sea floor.
    2) Maybe the “seahorse” and fish are actually in the presence of, and observing, the special Slusho! Deep-sea ingredient and showing us what they think?
    3) The seahorse is showing us a blue oven mitt. Maybe it’s not a blue over mitt, but rather a Cryo Glove. Google it, it’s blue and looks very similar. The special ingredient needs to be kept cold, maybe too cold to be touched with bare skin - might be a bit toxic as well. The fish is showing us cheese. Maybe that’s what the special ingredient looks like to him? What does a fish know?

    For all we know, maybe the crab is standing directly on the ingredient? Hence the insanity when you now click on him. He shouldn’t of touched it.

    In conclusion: We’re being warned not to directly touch the icy, toxic, cheesy Slusho! ingredient, or we’ll go insane – or worse.

  13. I noticed that the donkey does not return once it leaves the screen, but the other animals do. Not likely a clue..but who knows.

  14. Yeah, all we may be doing is pointing out their programming mistakes haha.

  15. In the "Happy Talk" section, the kids and animals want a XXXL shirt. That size isn't offered in the store.

    Who's the biggest Whale?

  17. It's because XXXL isan't even a shirt size.

  19. One fairly unrealistic aspect of this whole Slusho! campaign is the emphasis on how it makes you "a whale." There's pretty much nowhere outside of maybe Samoa and Hawaii where this is considered a good thing these days. People don't like to be told "drink this and you'll become a whale." They want to be told "drink this and supermodels will screw your brains out." Japan admires sumo wrestlers, but most people there don't want to be the size of one.

  20. the only thing related to the whale is the "leviathan" idea. wikipedia it: sounds very possible. problem: "leviathan" was a movie in '89, and jj said he's not remaking.

  21. The 1989 movie ‘Leviathan’ had nothing to do with a whale. Abrams is definitely not remaking it, which is blatantly obvious. I think Abrams’ use of the term whale isn’t literal. When the word whale is mentioned, it more than likely means giant monster – probably aquatic. A leviathan-esque creature could still be applicable. I’m sure it’s going to be a bit corrupt in the traditional sense, but it could still work.

  22. J.J. Abrams isn't writing or directing this movie... It doesn't have much to do with him beyond him investing in and hoping to make money off the thing.

  23. Yeah, yeah, I know. It's just that this whole project seems to be more his baby than anyone else’s.
